Specific.
With every advance of emigration in
10 the far west, a new demand IS created
for H0stetter's Stomach Bitters. New
peopled regions are frequently less sal
ubrious than older settled localities, on
account of the miasma which rises
HON recently cleared land, particularly
along the banks of rivers that are sub
ject to freshets. The agricultural or
mining emigrant Don learns. when he
does not already know, that the Bitters
afford the only sure protection against
malaria, and those disorders OF the
stomach, liver and bowels, TO which
climate changes, exposure, and unac-
customed or unhealthy water or diet
subject him. Consequently, he places
an estimate upon this great household
specific and preventive commensurate
with its intrinsic merits, and is careful
TO keep on hand a restorative and pro-
mOter of health 80 implicitly to be re-
lied upon in time of need.

Escape of Mrs. CIeveIand's Canary.

When Mrs. Cleveland returned to
the white house from her vacation
she found her favorite canary bird
missing. The little songster took his
freedom and flew away with it while
the housemaid was cleaning its cage.
The presidential bird, with truly
democratic instincts, fraternized with
the humble English sparrow, the cat
bird, the graceful robin and the re
publican blackbird, whose nests are
built in the trees surrounding the ex-
ecutive mansion The entire domes
tic force was called out to try and
persuade the truant bird to return to
his cage, but without avail A step.
ladder was brought out. and on it was
placed another cage, containing his
mate, with the hope that the wander
er would return, but the latter was
still enjoying his summer vacation
when darkness settled around the
presidents house.

Fashion Notes.

The frock of white pique is again
in favor for little girls.
There is tendency in Paris toward
hats with lower crowns.
Boas of white Chantilly and Val
enciennes lace are worn by French
women this summer.
A full garniture of ostrich tips
and plumes are used on the most
stylish hats Of the season.
White Swiss makes a charming
parasol when edged with wide
bouncing or fine imitation Valencien-
mes.
Kilt skirts and blouse waists are
the preferred form tor little girls
flannel, serge, and other wool frocks.
White costumes in white llama
cloth, which is mixture of silk and
wool, are trimmed prettily with red
plush.
English embroidery, which hith-
erto has bean most used for children
is filling an important niche in la
dies summer toilets.
The brooch has taken the place
of the small cravat pins and is worn
generally with the severe tailor-made
costumes and is in harmony with
the plainness of the effect.
A charming bonnet is made of
d'esprit net drawn over wire
frame. Velvet finishes the rolled
brim and ties, while some of the
delicate small blossoms form a bou-
quet for the front.
The full pulled sleeve is very pref
ty in Lace or delicate fabric and bids
fair to be the most fashionable sleeve
Of the season. Deep cuffs of MORE
silk or velvet forms the finish of
such q sleeve.
Bonnets Of fine white horsehair,
known to our grandmothers as
"Neapolitan," are once more in
vogue, and will no doubt meet with
very much favor, as they are light
and very dainty in appearance.
Soft felt hats of picturesque shape
are from England, and accompany
wooden costumes the popular trim
ming being some gossamer fabric
either in white or in the correspond
ing colors in the costume.

SEALING THE BACK DOORS.

In Willimantic, Connecticut, deter
mined warfare against Sunday liquor
selling is being waged by the authori-
ties. Every other plan for detecting the
offenders having failed, the authorities
recently hit upon an ingenious scheme
which has been tried three or four Sun
days with good results. Late Saturday
mig bit an officer goes to all the saloons
having back doors and private en-
frances, and on these he places a seal /;
that is to say, he pastes strip of paper
bearing the word "seal,' over the
crack of the door in such way as to
prevent the opening of the door without
breaking the seal. On Monday morn =,
ing the officer again examines to see
if any of the seals have been tam
pered with. The action of the au.
thorities is severely denounced by
the saloon-keepers who regard it as an
interference in their pri-
vate affairs. However, it is said that
not seal has so far been broken, the
saloon men preferring a submission to
the sealing process rather than make a
fight in the courts,
1t may be here remarked that the men
who sell whisky in Willimantic are not
at all like the men who sell whisky in
Salt Lake, in their respect for law or
in the friendship of the
courts. A Salt Lake saloon-keeper
would break the seal before it was
Try, and if arrested and convicted would
the lower courts decision
that the higher tribunal would
set him free.

the tenor of his letter to Colman, and
all the people will say amen.
The Commissioner is making very
rapid progress for man claiming to e
aDemoerat. o The other day he ask d
Congress to give his department author
ity Ito carry out the measures re-
CURED for extirpating pleuro-pneu-
monia untrammeled by State laws or
State authorities" just as if he could
induce Democratic Congress or De-
mocratic Administration to assent to
to the proposition, even if the Constitu-
tional way to such action could be
clearly seen. Mr.. Colman would do
well to attend to his seeds and
garden truck, and let such matters
as the propriety of the general
government going into State to deal
with local cattle disease alone. The
States know best how they want such
things managed, and are the best
judges of their ability 10 manage
cattle disease within their borders; if
they want pleuro-pneumonia, or if they
do not care to adopt effective measures
for stamping out the disease, it is none
of the affair of Mr.. Colman or of the
United States.

Panama Points,

PANAMA, January 8. The canal work
is progressing. Contractors are satisfied
although they are working agains,
difficulties in consequence Of the tail
end of the rainy season and the cele
bration of the December HOLIDAYS: The
sanitary record is good.
The new customs law published in the
Panama Gazette, Is of interest to mer-
chants. Two of the articles are of
special interest. One of these absolutely
prohibits the importation of canes.
umbrellas or. other articles which con-
ceal knives and swords, while the second
prohibits the importation by private
individuals Of any article which by its
nature or designation will serve as an
instrument of war or for the armipe or
equipment of troops.
A law has been passed by the assembly
at Bogota, monopolizing the sale of salt
in Panama. The exclusive right to sell
the article will be granted to whoever
will pay the highest price for it. The
collection of the salt tax in the capital
Santa Fe de Bogota, whence this law
emanated, was the cause of the riots
during the last century in that city.
which subsequently led to the great
revolution which eliminated in the
liberation of Spanish America from
Spain.

STATE CONTROL OF LIQUOR.

The little republic of Switzerland has
just inaugurated plan for dealing with
the liquor traffic. Heretofore there
have been no restrictions on the mana
facture of intoxicants, and very few on
the sale of them; as result liquor has
been of poor quality, cheap in price and
drunkenness has steadily increased.
Now the State has assumed a monop-
oily of the business. That is to say, il
will inspect the manufacture with the
view to keeping the quality up to GER
tain standard; all liquors must be sold
to the State, no distiller being allowed
to dispose of any to private parties.
The government will retail the liquor,
and thus have the absolute control of
the traffic, in matters of price, hours
for selling, and so on. The scheme
cOntemplates an increase in the price of
Is per cent. This, it is thought, will
reduce the consumption somewhat, and
Will lessen drinking among the poorer
classes who can least afford to
spend money for drink. Allowing
for the falling off in consumption it is
estimated that the governments profits
vii amount to 100000 a year, of
which $4,000 year is to be expended
in measures to repress the evils of
drunkenness. The plan is a novel one,
and if honestly and efficiently applied,
ought to do good in the way of decreas-
ing intemperancs; but it is such AN
open recognition Of traffic which is
everywhere regarded as Legitimate,
that few governments would care to
adopt the plan.

A FEW DAYS ago ex-Congressman
Murch, of Maine, died IN the Insane
Asylum al Danvers. Mass. In 1878
Murch was al honest stone cutter,
earning good living, but he got pol
tiles into his head, and was elected to
Congress on the fusion ticket. In the
House he amounted to nothing. Re
turning from Congress, he felt above
honest work. and instead of returning
to his mallet and chisel, opened gin
mill in Boston. Whisky proved too
much for him mentally and physically;
he first went insane, and now he has
gone to his grave.

IT READS strangely enough, that tele-
gram in another column of The HER
AID, telling of the want and suffering
IN Texas. County judges have been
holding convention, and they report
that 80 600 people in the State are in
need of food clothing and fuel, while
other thousands are without seed fol-

drouth was what brought on the famine
in the State where the people are usually
wealthy and prosperous.

A FRESH COMMISSIONERS.

Commissioner Colman, of Ethe De
partment of Agriculture, in a letter to
Governor oglesby, of Illinois, synopsis
OF which appears in THE HERALD's tele-
graphic columns this morning. fairly
goes beside himself. The pIeuro-onen.
monia quarantine having been raised in
Illinois and some injected stables hav-
ing been re-occupied by cattle, the Com.
missioner proceeds to scold the Governor
most ssvagely. The result will probably
be reply from Oglesby in which he
will inform the Commissioner that
Illinois is a sovereign State; that she
can manage her internal affairs without
outside assistance and that she can
get along very well without the
interference of Mr.. Colman. If Cover
nor 0glesby is the executive
he is generally presumed to be, and if
he entertaias the correct idea of the
dignity OF his State, che above will be

Railroad Racket.

GALVESTON, January ga special to
the Ne'us from Santiago says: Officials
and employees of the Southern Pacific
Railroad refuse to giveany information
concerning the collision last Friday
evening of freight train and con-
struction train in deep cut near
DEVILS River; twelve or fifteen lives
were lost, nearly all the persons killed
being Mexicans. The names of the
killed could not be ascertained as men
connected with the road refuse to give
any information whatever. Four or
five dead bodies from the wreck were
brought in last evening and several of
the manned passed through en- route
for Columbus for treatment at the rail-
road hospital. When the trains col
lided they caught fire and two cars and
one locomotive were burned. Most of
the injured received their injuries by
being burned.

The Citrus Fair.

CHICAGO, January 1.-THE Citrus Fair
of Northern and Central California
running in this city, has furnished a
number of revelations to fruit men. On
exhibition are water melons. nuts, dates
oranges, olives, lines, lemons and
various kinds of semi-tropical fruits,
which ripen ia the open air in Deem
Der. The Placer County display of
raisins furnishes striking illustration
of the causes that are driving imported
raisins out of the market. Included in
the exhibit are ten boxes of raisins,
similar in appearance; nine boxes are
California raisins. the tenth one con
tains imported fine Crow Dehesa from
Spain, and exports are challenged to
pick it out. Fine raisins are also shown
faced by machinery, far superior in APP
pearance to any imported articles. The
fruits exhibited are from that section of
the State north of San Francisco.
